I don't know about you but i always thought i was protected with Ebays buyers protection programme with everything i bought on Ebay however i decided to pay - I WAS WRONG!
After almost 2 & a half years as a buyer & as a seller i have come unstuck.

I recently bought some perfumes off a seller named Sues_things, i didnt have enough money in paypal so i sent a cash payment, all went well she received it & sent the perfumes out, i received them last saturday (7/10/06), 2 were fine the 3rd totally smashed. So i emailed the seller regarding this matter & i was basically told its your problem! I couldnt believe how cold & rude she was totally unprofessional!! I opened an item received but not as decribed dispute - she told me to read her terms - Well that was a laugh she doesnt have any lol! So i decided to escalate the dispute to a claim, there i found out that i didnt have a leg to stand on as i didnt pay via paypal!

Now in my listings you can pay for your item anyway you please i dont really care as long as it gets paid for!! And if you have problem, as some buyers do i communicate with them, trying to resolve the situation so it doesnt go to a dispute!! I do refund even if its not paid via paypal because i understand people or at least i try to!

So my advice here is you shouldnt buy anything of Sues_things, as she knows that you cant do a thing as she doesnt accept paypal. I will never not pay via any other means other than paypal again, it simply is not worth the hassle nor the risk.

I hope i have give you some insight into why you should pay via Paypal.
